While the Government hopes negotiations will be successful, participation must work for UK researchers, businesses and taxpayers.</p><p>Talks are ongoing and therefore a deal has not yet been agreed. A deadline for these talks has not been set but to provide the industry with certainty, the UK must come to a resolution as quickly as possible. The Government has set out Pioneer, the UK’s bold alternative, which it is ready to implement if association cannot be secured.</p> answering member printed Viscount Camrose question first answered 22/08/2023 11:59:51 answering member 4939 label Biography information for Viscount Camrose
